But since we have a built-in unit in our new house, the hutch had to find a new place to live in our new crib. I decided it would be perfect in the extra bedroom.

Ryan wasn’t so sure it would fit up the stairs. But, I would hear nothing of it.

So, the process of moving this large and very heavy piece of furniture into the second level of our new home began.

(And, as you can see, I did not paint the top. That wouldn’t have been a very efficient use of my time. I was too busy adding thought bubbles to photos to entertain myself.)

When they got it inside, Brother Bear and Ryan announced that it would not POSSIBLY fit up the stairs. Then they spent ten or fifteen minutes grumbling and moaning and groaning. The turn was too tight and the hutch was too big. But, my father prevailed.

And after some maneuvering, it fit right into the spot I had planned for it.

And that is how the hutch found a new home.

And it lived happily ever after… in our lovely new guest bedroom.

(And as an aside, Ryan said that we would be selling the hutch with the house. Yeah, right.)

Haha!That sounds like something that might happen in our house! I mention things sometimes and Bud doesn’t see how it’ll work, but fortunately he normally gives it a go and ends up happy with the end results!At least you don’t have to move again soon!Biz

You are too funny! It does fit into that little cubby perfectly. The house is really looking amazing, you guys are rockstars.

I wanted the couch in the basement when I moved in, but the boys deemed it impossible. When I had the movers bring over my washer and dryer later in the month they decided it was, in fact, possible… But by then I already had my heart set on a new Ikea sectional. Which we have yet to go and buy. Or measure for. lol

Bahahaaha thought bubble making clearly outweigh painting on the priority list. Don’t dads know that? And look at my room! It’s already looking so comfy and cozy. Love the red with the wall color. And I know you know, but you totally lucked out in the hub AND daddy-o dept. You should call them Kim’s minions. And get them matching shirts.

I love the bubble commentary. That’s about what I imagine Stephen is thinking whenever I ask him to help me move something… As for the Americana guest room – I love it! Especially that school room desk by the bed! (Big surprise!)
